A lot of local hackers roll on two wheels. Sometimes that means two wheels and a motor, and this time it means two wheels, a motor, and a bunch of stuff from Adafruit. Our own Rene Sanchez built a navigation data display to show GPS coordinates, direction, temperature, and other handy information on a glowing blue LCD display.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

my minigpsd also shows local radar and saved me twice on my san diego to detroit trip from getting soaked.
I’m working on doing an ATtiny2313+bluetooth for the sensors (I have j1850 going) and use a Chumby hacker board to replace the N810 tablet so I can use any smartphone with a decent browser.
I also added a samsung hd cam with timelapse so I can get time-lapse (and things like when a truck blew a tire out in front of me).
One of my projects I’ve documented at harleyhacking.blogspot.com
